Mid-‘80s photos of Cecilia Kuhn (1956-2017), fierce drummer/vocalist of the SF proto-riot grrrl band Frightwig, as shot by Bobby Castro.

“…Kuhn was an early fan who helped the band out as a roadie, including setting up the drum kit and transporting it to shows. Before long, Kuhn took her rightful place behind the kit and became the band’s drummer. Tall, with big blonde hair and a penchant for wearing boxer shorts and Converse high tops, Kuhn was frequently described as being “intimidating” on stage (…) She was also a musical triple threat, bringing drum and guitar skills to the band, as well as a beautiful singing voice…

…“Seeing Frightwig as a teenage punk rocker was one of my very early introductions to feminism. They were hugely influential on the late 80’s/early 90s punk rock feminist scene that happened here, and Cecilia, in particular, was an inspiration to me personally. As a drummer, singer, songwriter, and performer, she was completely amazing and awe-inspiring,” Bikini Kill drummer Tobi Vail wrote.
